At that moment, Lu Wanying and the Empress turned their gazes toward Lin Feng, who had just entered. Empress Wei furrowed her brow slightly and asked, "Old Four, how did you end up here? Where are Zheng and the others?"
Lin Feng hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully replied, "Your Highness, they are still ahead, enjoying drinks!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Wanying, who had been seated, slowly stood up with a hint of displeasure on her face. She addressed Lin Feng, saying, "If that's the case, what brings you here? Xia Qingyu and I were having a delightful conversation. You should hurry back and join them in their revelry!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. He had just arrived and was already being dismissed. However, he thought to himself that it was fine.
Thus, he bowed to the Empress and Lu Wanying before turning to leave the area and headed toward the main hall.
When Lin Feng arrived back at the main hall, he immediately noticed that his brothers were all flushed and swaying slightly, clearly showing signs of intoxication.
At that moment, Lin Zheng, seated at the head of the table, caught sight of Lin Feng and quickly called out, "Fourth Prince! Where have you been? The brothers were looking for you everywhere and couldn't find you!"
Lin Feng smiled faintly and casually replied, "Oh, don't blame me, big brother. I just went to the restroom. See? I'm back now!"
After saying this, he walked over to his seat and slowly sat down.
Next, Lin Feng picked up a cup of wine and tilted his head back to drink it all in one go. After several cups downed in quick succession, he felt a tumultuous churn in his stomach and his head began to feel heavy.
Finally unable to endure any longer, he set down his cup and said to Lin Zheng beside him, "Big brother, I really can't drink anymore!"
Lin Zheng turned to look at Lin Feng and noticed his flushed face and dazed eyes. Realizing that he had indeed reached his limit for the day, he nodded with a smile and said, "Haha, no worries! We've had our fun today; let's call it a night!"
With that said, everyone rose from their seats. After exchanging farewells, they each took their families home in a swaying manner.
In the spacious and quiet hall, only a few figures remained. Xia Yuanji had also set off for home early.
At this time, those few people felt as if the world was spinning around them; their heads were extremely heavy.
The palace maids and eunuchs who had been quietly waiting nearby saw this situation and dared not delay for even a moment. They hurriedly rushed off to relay the news to their respective masters, requesting assistance to bring these drunken individuals back to their quarters for rest.
Meanwhile, in the inner palace, Xia Qingyu also received hurried reports from the eunuchs.
The little eunuch arrived panting and with an anxious expression said, "Your Highness! It's bad! The Crown Prince and several princes have drunk too much in the front hall; they're completely out of it!"
Hearing this news made the Empress anxious. She quickly dispatched servants from their respective households to come swiftly and escort them home.
After briefly bidding farewell to the Empress and Qi Qin, Xia Qingyu hurriedly left the inner palace.
She walked briskly until she reached the front hall.
As soon as they stepped through the palace doors, several attendants were struggling to help Lin Feng and the others as they prepared to board the carriage. Xia Qingyu quickened her pace and approached them, managing to climb into the carriage with their assistance.
With a sharp crack of the whip from the driver, the carriage began to move slowly, its wheels rolling forward toward the Fourth Prince's Mansion. At that moment, Lin Feng, who had seemed utterly drunk just moments before, suddenly sat up straight without any warning.
This unexpected action startled Xia Qingyu, causing her to lose her composure and gasp in shock. Once her heart rate settled a bit, she steadied herself and looked at Lin Feng with concern, softly asking, "Husband, are you alright?"
